is the Socratic elenchus. 'Elenchus' in the wider sense means examining a person with regard to a statement he has made, by putting to him questions calling for further statements, in the hope that they will determine the meaning and the truth-value of his first statement.

The main problem with their argumentation here is that they end up assimilating the Socratic elenchus to conceptual analysis involving intuitions, thus presenting the intuition skeptic as calling for the abandonment of "the method of traditional philosophy", whose defender is called the "traditionalist".

As the Stranger explains in the Sophist--in a passage, it is true, where he is supposed to define the sophist, but which to my mind presents the very best definition of the Socratic elenchus, hence the Stranger's reluctance to attribute to the sophist the resulting definition (35)--ignorance ([phrase omitted]) is of two kinds.

Aporia begins "as the mental state of perplexity and being at a loss in the face of the Socratic demand for definitions; and leads to aporia as the puzzlement about particular puzzles and problems." In the first stage Socrates seeks by means of extended interrogation, or elenchus, to establish definitions; a second phase concerns the moment when he turns impasse into the impetus for the search for knowledge (89).
